Hello and welcome to Kishin Douji Zenki Wikia! :)

It makes me happy to see a member of the Baradise/Rose scanlations team around here, as it means, that we will be able to talk to each other and clear up any misunderstandings about your group's translation works, that may have arisen in the past.

I also want to say sorry for your group being talked about a bit harshly sometimes. This was due to some fellow members of the Kishin Douji Zenki community feeling very offended by some of the more severe "translation blunders".

While a wiki is indeed meant to be accurate, I felt that it is unfair of some fellow members to completely trash a translation instead of being able to compare it to the original work.

The members of our wiki and the Kishin Douji Zenki community in general are actually rather split on whether to feature both the original, Japanese works by Yoshihiro Kuroiwa and Kikuhide Tani and the Chinese translation or if we should only feature the original works and translations based on them.

I initially chose your works to present the manga adaption, because I didn't know about the errors in it. That wasn't until a friend, who owned the original, Japanse manga, pointed out some things and we started fixing up the mistakes.

Another friend of mine even bought the original 12 volumes of the Japanese manga for me and the members of our wiki started translating our own photographs of the Japanese manga and using our own translation instead.

While we have went on to replace most content from the Chinese translation and its translations with content from the original, Japanese version and translations based on it, we weren't able to complete this yet.

Nonetheless, if you want to create an accurate translation of the Kishin Douji Zenki manga, I would give you the advice to also buy the original 12 volumes of the Japanese manga for yourself, so you can create a first hand translation instead of a second hand one.

Though, if you want to, feel free to do both a Japanese to English and a Chinese to English translation in parallel, as it will allow you to be able to point out any mistakes, that might have sneaked into the Chinese version.

Oh, well... So much for big walls of text.

I hope, this explained some things, that were going on over here and will lead to our groups being able to get along better and maybe even cooperate more in the future.
